[KENNETH MATIBA]

Of note: in 1988, Salman Rushdie's novel "Satanic Verses" contained the above as the basis for that book. This book led Ayatollah Khomeni to offer a $3 million bounty on the Muslim Salman Rushdie. But Salman Rushdie did not lie about Islam's early Satanic beginning! He merely reported the truth. And truth is something Islam cannot tolerate. Salman Rusdie was knighted by the British queen in June 2007.

Would a true Prophet make any exception to Monotheism (belief in only one God)?

During the early stages of Islam, Muhammad was frustrated in his attempts to win over Mecca's merchants and other powerful people, who were all polytheists (believe in many gods). Finally he relented on his hitherto uncompromising monotheism and stated that it was permitted for the pagan gods of Mecca --specifically, three female deities named al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat --to intercede before Allah for the people. According to Islamic tradition, Satan took advantage of Muhammad's desire for reconciliation and "put upon his tongue" as a revelation from Allah this rhetorical question and answer: "Uzza and Manat, the third, the other"? These are the exalted Gharaniq (cranes) whose intercession is approved." The pagan members of Muhammad's tribe, the Quraysh, were pleased; they prostrated themselves before their gods as the Muslims were prostrating themselves before Allah, and went out saying, "Muhammad has spoken of our god in splendid fashion."

How did Muhammad get out of this mess? Just as you would expect. "Miraculously" and conveniently, Gabriel came to Muhammad and and gave a new Surah (22:51) which says that Satan routinely tampers with the messages of the prophets. Reference: Page 69, "Inside Islam, A Guide for Catholics"

The Suyuti says in Asbab of the Nuzul (page 184):

"Muhammad was in Mecca. He read the chapter of the Star. When he uttered, ‘Have you seen the Lat, the ’Uzza, and the other third Manat?’, Satan instilled in his tongue, ‘These are the exulted idols (daughters of God) whose intercession is hoped.’ The infidels said that Muhammad had mentioned their gods with good words. Then when he prostrated, they prostrated, too. Thus, the above verse 22:52 was not inspired."

On page 282 of the Commentary of the Jalalan, we read the same interpretation, and the Jalalan added,

"Gabriel came to Muhammad after that and told him that Satan had thrust these words into his tongue. Muhammad became sad, then Gabriel delivered this verse to him to comfort him."

In his book, "The Kash-shaf’, the Zamakh-shari (A.D.1144) (part 3, pages 164 and 165), asserts that,

"This episode which Muhammad experienced is common knowledge and unquestionable, and is related to us by the companions of Muhammad."

In short, this Allah is not the God of the Jews or the Christians. Allah is in fact a Meccan Moon god idol. To confess that Allah is the same God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses is to deny Yahweh (I Am), who is revealed in the Lord Jesus the Christ!

The standard of judgment for the God of the Qur'an is that our good deeds (to Muslims only) must outweigh our bad deeds (Suras 7:8-9; 21:47); but the standard of the God of the true Bible is nothing less than complete perfection as measured by the holy character of God (Matthew 5:48; Romans 3:23).
Since nobody can attain perfection, God sent His only Son as a substitute atonement (korban) so that those who believe and trust in Jesus, although imperfect ourselves--will have eternal life. In short, did a marvelous thing that shows He loves us. God Himself (Yeshua/Jesus) was the only perfect sacrifice to this dilemma.

Two important attributes of Yahweh (I am/Jesus) is that God is both just and merciful. Muslims Often ask me -How can God die on a cross? When they should be asking; "Why did God suffer and die on a cross"? The answer is God is love! Love for us is the reason the Father sent His Son Jesus to die in our place --- to save us from the just punishment for our sins. Because of the Cross, Yeshua/Jesus got the justice, and we got the mercy.

Muslim activists in the West have been using the tactic of claiming that they worship the same god as the Christians in order to gain legitimacy and acceptance. They have been using the name "God" in place of "Allah" in many translations of the Qur'an.

Satanic lie: Good deeds will get you to heaven. Truth: The wages of sin/any sin are death.

Islam is very much a deeds-based religion where God is keeping score. For Muslims, good deeds go on one side of God's ledger, and bad deeds go on the other side. Islam says that on the day of resurrection, each person's ledger will be balanced. Assuming that all of the other basic qualifications were met during life (i.e., the 'Pillars of Islam'), if the person's good outweighs the bad: Paradise. If the bad outweighs the good: Hell. It's just that simple. NO Muslim ever knows if they are destined to rot in hell forever. Muhammad said he was unsure himself if he would go to heaven or hell.

The real God has made it all simpler than this false deed-based system. But it requires you believe something with your whole heart. This may require you leaving your family and/or friends. But, your eternal life, and where you spend eternity demands it.

You have to accept the Son of God's substitutional atonement of your sins.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You only have to ask Jesus and He will save you.

Only in Jesus do we have a promise for life. Jesus said; "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live" (John 11:25)


Islam says the God of the Qur'an provided a messenger, Muhammad, who warned of Allah's impending judgment (Suras 2:119; 5:19; 7:184, 188; 15:89-90) and who declared that "No bearer of a burden can bear the burden of another" (Suras 17:15; 35:18, Ali); but the God of the Bible provided a sinless Savior, Jesus, who took our sins upon himself and bore God's wrath in our stead (Matthew 20:28; 26:28; Luke 22:37; John 3:16; 10:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10).

Interesting enough. Jesus and Mary were among the many images—in addition to the goddesses of fertility and power—worshiped at the Ka'bah during Muhammad's day. Early stories of Muhammad relate how when he entered Mecca in triumph he ordered the destruction of all idols and images. But, when he came upon a picture of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus inside the Ka'bah he reverently covered this icon with his cloak. He ordered all other images to be destroyed, and that the image of the Madonna and Child was to be looked upon as sacred.

One Muslim myth, concerning the Kaba, is that anyone who prays under the Kaba's water-pipe becomes as pure as on the day when his mother bore him. Muslims have a hard time accepting the Christ's atonement even though it is there clear as day in all 4 Gospels that Muhammad validated, but Muslims will allow for total forgiveness of sins by uttering a prayer under a spout! Who is being deceived?
